I finally solved it!
I have a Seagate external 'for Mac' drives that uses the Paragon HFS+ Driver for Windows in Windows 8.1 to read the drive and was wondering if it will work in Windows 10 because I read an Amazon review where someone said it doesn't. Can someone confirm if they upgraded to Win 10 and can see and read their Mac formatted external Seagate drive. You may encounter mounting issues with driver operability on Windows 10 (system asks to format the inserted HFS+ drive). Despite the facts, that directly connected drive has Master Boot Record partitioning scheme (if it is a USB stick), does not contain Core Storage solution, and the product has been activated.
- Select Search automatically for updated driver software. Select Update Driver. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions. Reinstall the device driver. In the search box on the taskbar, enter.
- List of all WD firmware and software available for download.
This literally took hours out of my day, but I now know what the problem was. It turned out that the drivers actually were installed. by verified this checking for the presence of the following files:
C:WindowsSystem32DriversAppleHFS.sys
C:WindowsSystem32DriversAppleMNT.sys

The reason that the drive was unreadable is because they were encrypted with FileVault. I disabled FileVault in OS X, and when I booted into Windows again, the partition was mounted.
There might be a way to use FileVault and Boot Camp together, I'm not sure. I read in a few places, however, that if you enable FileVault after installing Windows with Boot Camp, you can have your drive encrypted and accessible from windows. (This is just a hunch however, I'll have to look into it more)I'm going to experiment around with this when I have time later.
